Dulac Woman Claims $10,000 Powerball Prize

Laura Verdin claims a $10,000 Powerball prize from the Aug. 27 drawing at the Lottery's New Orleans regional office.
Laura Verdin claims a $10,000 Powerball prize from the Aug. 27 drawing at the Lottery's New Orleans regional office.
When Laura Verdin of Dulac checked the Aug. 27 winning Powerball numbers in the newspaper, she was surprised to discover that the single Powerball ticket she purchased at Cannata's Family Market was a $10,000 winner. 

"I was so shocked! I bought one Powerball ticket. I checked the numbers with the newspaper, and my blood pressure went sky high," explained Verdin. "I've been buying tickets since the Lottery started!" 

Verdin's ticket matched four of the five white ball numbers drawn and the red Powerball number to win $10,000. The winning numbers for the Aug. 27 drawing were 02-12-25-54-58, and the Powerball number was 14.

Verdin purchased her winning ticket from Cannata's Family Market on Prospect Boulevard in Houma. She plans to use her winnings to buy a new pair of eyeglasses, a new refrigerator and a new air conditioner.    

Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. The Lottery encourages anyone who may have a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem to call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help.

For security purposes, the Lottery strongly encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing.  As with all draw-style games, Powerball winning tickets must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing in which the prize was won. More information about other Powerball winners can be found in the "Meet Our Winners" section of the Lottery's Web site, www.louisianalottery.com.
